Vicious Macaroni


(Named for "Vicious Circles", the frisbee team that gave birth to the concept)

2/3 lb macaroni
1 tub of ricotta
2 plump yellow onions (3-4 in. across)
1 pint of cherry tomatoes
8 0z shredded mozzarella
handful of pine nuts

1. Caramelize onions in olive oil.
2. Roast tomatoes, drizzled in olive oil and salted and peppered at 450 degrees until they start to caramelize and are super mushy.
3. Cook & drain pasta, there is no sauce, so cook it longer than you would for baked ziti, for example.
4. Toast pine nuts.

Assemble: Mix onions and about 1/3 c. of mozzarella into the ricotta. Mix in pasta and layer tomatoes over top. Top with pine nuts and a crap-ton of mozzarella. Bake at 425 for 15-20 minutes.
